Rhythm in the thread of argument from perpetual identity said he was not willing to base any conclusions on having a perpetual identity even though he says it seems to be the case that we do have one.Unfortunately, when you don't -address- the doubt, conclusions that arise from the premise held uncritically are incapable of rising above the level of doubt originally aimed at the premise. Further - you may inject even more doubt in the assertions - the conclusion may be more suspect than the premise (which was itself already shaky).
I don't emphasize on the doubt. Rather I emphasize on what seems to be the case, then emphasize on that non-certainty.
You end up without being able to lay claim to any sort of knowledge, and the whole exercise becomes a sham.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
